A nice sunset at the (Florida) Gulf Coast beach closest to our home, set to a piece by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) called “Bathed in the Light,” with ambient sound gradually bled in starting about halfway through. My wife Debbie is a painter and wanted to capture this sunset to incorporate in future paintings. Instead of snapping a couple of stills, I went overboard. I think the extra effort was worthwhile, and I hope you do, too.

Another one of my “Bradenton Tour” videos, one I only had to walk around the corner to make, because Karen’s private gallery (and famous jam-party location) is on 15th Ave. W near 11th St. W, and we live at the cornerof 16th Ave.W and 11th St. W. Karen is one of the reasons we moved to the Village of the Arts, truly a great neighbor
Ruth is in her 80s but in many ways she’s one of the youngest artists in town, working constantly on new styles and techniques. She spent 12 years in (on?) Key West, Florida, before moving to Bradenton.
September 11 is my friend/coworker Chris ‘pudge’ Nandor’s birthday. It’s also a day people no longer celebrate with joy. Pudge has written a song called Osama Bin Laden, You Ruined My Birthday that is well worth hearing, especially if you enjoy Johnny Cash impersonations.
One article talks about an arts-oriented retirement home in Burbank, California. The other is about a loft community for filmmakers in Cleveland, Ohio. Similar developments could do very well here.
A volunteer-made video ad for Sarah C. Meaker, Democrat for Manatee County Commisssion Seat 6 (at large). Some candidates have big budgets. … all ยป Some have grass-roots support. Guess which kind of candidate Sarah is? 
(The original version of this 30 second spot is broadcast quality just in case Sarah gets a lot of budget all of a sudden…)
A little while ago I did a video for Linux.com about how the New York Times kept Linux users from watching many of their (Flash) videos. That video was picked up by Slashdot, Digg, and a bunch of other tech news sites and got more viewers than I suspect most stories on the NYT site get. Because of my video (and its wide exposure), the NYT has told its video delivery contractor, The Feed Room, to remove the anti-Linux barriers.
But down here in the Florida hinterlands, the (NYT-owned) Sarasota Herald-Tribune doesn’t even run Flash videos. They use .wmv instead. And they take even more aggressive anti-Linux measures than their company’s Mothership paper. Still, smart Linux users who have mplayer or other video players installed, along with the appropriate codecs, can watch H-T videos if they really want to. The video below (hosted by YouTube) tells you how. Whether watching these little videos delivered through the H-T site but made by SNN News 6 is worth this much trouble is a question you’ll have to answer for yourself….
